Temple of Flora progress

Here… Continue reading Online Get Together Tomorrow!
I know I have posted about my yarn for this sweater before, but I’m pretty jazzed about it, so I’m posting again. The main yarn is going to be this Knit Picks Galileo in the Nebula colorway – it is a really deep plum color, which as it turns out is hard to photograph indoors… Continue reading Arachne KAL Yarn and Resources
